Taşra Kabare (Tasra Cabaret):
KINESHMA, RUSSIA – AUGUST 30, 2018: Live concert of the popular Russian rap singer Basta on stage from the label Gazgolder. Silhouettes of the audience on a musical night performance
Opened by Cemal Toktas and Nergis Ozturk, in Kadikoy region in the Asian side which we remember from theatrical scenes, cinema and television series, the provincial cabaret is actually a place to produce plays. In addition to its own productions, there is theatre hall for 120 people that hosts the plays of the other teams.
When we look at the program of the cabaret hall on the upper floor, we understand why the space is defined as an ‘arabesque-pop-jazz-alaturka structure’. You can catch live music performances in casinos nights with the acoustic rock concerts on different stages. The provincial cabaret was inspired by 19th century French and British cabaret locations. There is a seating arrangement where you can observe the scene while you eat. The kitchen offers a mix of German and Turkish delicacies, and after 21.00 you can order snacks. While you’re watching a cabaret show, I don’t think you’ll find another place to eat German-style Spaetzle pasta and black pepper but sweet Laz pastry.

They combined entertainment, music and nice food menu in their restaurant. The menu is famous with its amazing burger! Which is strongly recommended. They promise fresh food with no frozen or chilled food in the plates which is really amazing. In addition to that they prepare four different special menus for each season. Amusing right! But not enough. They have their own activity calendar. The most amazing thing is they have a fixed Morning Jazz Sessions every Sunday morning.
